I got to thinking that I could take the original IDE ribbon cable out and put my own into the computer. I could remove the end connector from my own cable and the factory cable, and swap the cable. And, because my floppy drive no longer works (because I accidentally knelt on it), I can put one of the two drives in the floppy bay.

You guys realize that my Performa is a desktop model, and not a tower, do you not?

The cable I wish to put into the Performa is from an HP computer. It has markings that indicate what drive goes where on the cable, so that makes my life easier.
